222 REVISION OF AUSTRALIAN TORTRICINA, 



a triangular apical patch extending over J of costa and f of 

 termen : cilia dark grey with deep blue subbasal shade, with an 

 orange tornal patch. Hindwings blackish-purple; a deep orange 

 terminal fascia, broad on costa and containing a blackish-|)urple 

 apical /blotch almost united with main area by blackish irrora- 

 tion, gradually narrowed downwards and hardly reaching tornuSy 

 cilia orange-ochreoiis, on dorsum and round apex dark grey. 



9. 36-40 mm. Head, palpi, thorax, and abdomen deep irides- 

 cent blue. Forewings formed as in (J, without fold; orange; base 

 very narrowly deep blue, shortly produced along costa; a large 

 triangular deep purple apical patch, edge running from about 

 middle of costa to tornus : cilia deep purple-blue round patch. 

 Hindwings deep orange; a rounded purple-blackish apical blotch;, 

 cilia orange, on dorsum and round apex dark grey.

 six specimens.

Ihrtrix hiwn., Syst. Nat. x., i., 496(1758) ... type vi7-idana. 

 Lozotcenia Hteph., Cat. Brit. Ins. 169(1829) ... type for ster ana. 



Antennae in ^ moderately ciliated. Palpi moderate or long, 

 porrected, second joint dilated with rough scales above and 

 beneath, terminal moderate. Thorax without crest. Forewings 

 with 3 from angle, 7 separate, to termen. Hindwings with 3 

 and 4 connate, 5 approximated to 4 at base, 6 and 7 approximated 

 towards base. 



Largely represented in all regions; it is probable, however, 



that the Australian species form a homogeneous group developed 



locally. Many species possess the costal fold in ^, but it is 



usually slight and narrow. The full generic synonymy is not 



given above.

 mixed with fu.scous. Palpi whitish-ochreous sprinkled with 

 fuscous. Antennal ciliations of /J minute. Thorax pale ochreous 

 somewhat sprinkled with fuscous. Abdomen grey. Forewing.s
